Dave's Pov:
With this, I adjusted the earpiece as I asked, "Jessica, describe the man for me."
Jessica's voice hit as she replied, "Not so polite, but it works."
A few seconds passed after she started to describe that man, "Tall, broad shoulders, dark hair, slightly messy… keeps running a hand through it. He looked… scared, or angry. Or both."
I felt the air leave my lungs. The description matched Josh's physical appearance, but I was not sure.
Samantha's head turned to me as her eyes scrutinized the confusion and suspicion on my face. Her eyes narrowed, making them sharp enough to cut through anything.
"You know him?" Her voice was low but steady.
I nodded slowly, "It might be Josh, but I cannot confirm it."
For a few heartbeats, the world seemed to hold its breath.
The possibility of Josh being here. In these ruins. That too, alive. Inside that house snapped inside me.
Samantha, on the other hand, ordered over the line, "Jessie, could you get us the image of that man?"
